4.0 out of 5 stars It's good practice, October 24, 2001

This review is from: CIM CCIE Expert Labs: IP Routing (Network Simulator CD-ROM) (Paperback)

I dont know why some rate these CIMs so poorly. They are much better than routersim by far. Where else will you find training with narration and the number of routers you get. Although these CIMs are very structured in the commands available for individual the labs I feel what they are trying to do is teach you a specific topic without allowing you to stray away from the intended lesson so you better understand what is being taught. If you read any of the books and the use the CIMs you will have a greater understanding of what you read and some hands-on to back up the theory. Yes it's a little pricey but I find the much more enjoyable to learn from than dry read the page routersim.

2.0 out of 5 stars well, it gets you started........, January 18, 2001

This review is from: CIM CCIE Expert Labs: IP Routing (Network Simulator CD-ROM) (Paperback)

this interactive mentor does quite a lot to boost your knowledge of how routers work, and the basic configurations that you have to do to complete the labs, follow a strict rule...that you should read and reread the material that comes with the CD to help you through the labs. while the labs do not cover 100% all the configurations, it gives you ground to start from. i gave this 2 stars for the content, and left out the other 3 stars for failing to deliver what it tries to sell. you gain a good understanding from reading the material but the labs do not allow you to fully explore what you have learned through reading. and for the price i hope cisco review what they offer. other options for those determined to get some practice, think about the todd lammle CCNA with the RouterSim, as well as the SwitchSim, either from sybex, or from RouterSim.com. but still none of these can really beat the real thing.

2.0 out of 5 stars CIM Vs. other Simulators, December 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: CIM CCIE Expert Labs: IP Routing (Network Simulator CD-ROM) (Paperback)

CIM is like a course more than a simulator. RouterSim 2.0 or Sybex e-trainer are better simulators than all CIMs combined. Save your money and buy Routersim or Sybex.

For the Reviewer that rated 5 stars, Michael Woznicki, he does the same for all kind of stuff and books. I think amazon should stop paid people to post 5 star reviews for books they have not probably even read. Check his reviews for the McGraw Hills Technical Library (BCRAN, BCMSN, etc.)
